Microchip Technology receives cybersecurity certification for development process

Microchip Technology Inc. (NASDAQ: MCHP) received IEC 62443-4-1 Maturity Level 2 certification from UL Solutions for its industrial automation and control system development process, according to a company statement.

The certification validates that Microchip's product development process meets secure design criteria established by the international standard. The IEC 62443-4-1 standard requires implementation of a secure development lifecycle including threat modeling, secure design practices, implementation controls, verification and validation, and defect management.

UL Solutions confirmed that Microchip integrates security measures into hardware and software development from initial design through product end-of-life across its business units and global facilities.

"Achieving IEC 62443-4-1 ML2 certification reflects Microchip's long-standing commitment to rigorous security practices," said Nuri Dagdeviren, corporate vice president of Microchip Technology's secure computing group. "Customers need partners who can demonstrate secure development maturity, not simply claim it."

The certification addresses requirements for cybersecurity assurance as connected systems expand across residential, industrial and commercial environments. The company stated the certification may help customers with regulatory compliance including the EU Cyber Resilience Act.

Microchip Technology, headquartered in Chandler, Arizona, develops semiconductors and provides development tools for industrial, automotive, consumer, aerospace, defense, communications and computing markets.
